Estimating Effective Leaf Area Index of Winter Wheat Using Simulated Observation on Unmanned Aerial Vehicle-Based Point Cloud Data

open access: yesIEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing, 2020
Within-field variation of leaf area index (LAI) plays an essential role in field crop monitoring and yield forecasting. Although unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based optical remote sensing method can overcome the spatial and temporal resolution ...

Comparison of Seven Inversion Models for Estimating Plant and Woody Area Indices of Leaf-on and Leaf-off Forest Canopy Using Explicit 3D Forest Scenes

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2018
Optical methods require model inversion to infer plant area index (PAI) and woody area index (WAI) of leaf-on and leaf-off forest canopy from gap fraction or radiation attenuation measurements.

How to better estimate leaf area index and leaf angle distribution from digital hemispherical photography? Switching to a binary nonlinear regression paradigm [PDF]

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Abstract Probabilistic modelling of gaps for light–canopy interactions has long served as a theoretical basis to estimate vegetation structural parameters—leaf area index (LAI) and leaf angle distribution (LAD)—from optical measurements such as hemispherical photos.

Uncertainty Analysis in the Creation of a Fine-Resolution Leaf Area Index (LAI) Reference Map for Validation of Moderate Resolution LAI Products

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2015
The validation process for a moderate resolution leaf area index (LAI) product (i.e., MODIS) involves the creation of a high spatial resolution LAI reference map (Lai-RM), which when scaled to the moderate LAI resolution (i.e., > 1 km) allows for ...

Agar‐Based Optical Sensing System With a Phosphorescent Grid Pattern for Measuring Stress Distributions of Root Growth Using the Sampling Moiré Method

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This paper presents an agar medium with a phosphorescent grid pattern that measures the stress distribution generated by growing plant roots. Using phosphorescence, the system optically separates the grid pattern from the root and extracts the grid deformation.

Retrieval and validation of vertical LAI profile derived from airborne and spaceborne LiDAR data at a deciduous needleleaf forest site

open access: yesGIScience & Remote Sensing, 2023
Leaf area index (LAI) is defined as one half of the total green leaf area per unit ground surface area. Its vertical profile is critical for understanding the remote sensing radiative transfer processes.

Introduction to hemispherical photography in forestry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Hemispherical photography is profusely used in climatology and forest sciences in association with geomatics technology. It is possible to get a detailed record of the canopy and estimate, both of the same structure and understory light transmission ...
